A healthy marriage calls for knowledge, which equals information; understanding, which equals comprehension; and wisdom, which equals application,” said veteran producer Tommy Cowan as he aimed to describe the making of a healthy marriage.

Cowan and his gospel songbird wife, Carlene Davis, share a 30-odd-year-old marriage, which has parented seven children, two of whom were produced by the union.

He shared: “That’s why knowledge, understanding, and wisdom is so important, as too many times you find people getting a divorce yet saying they love each other.

We, my wife and I, were born in the country sides of Jamaica, and a healthy marriage is like a garden … you can’t have a crop without good, rich soil.

Complementing her husband’s response to the requirements of a healthy marriage, Davis added that with mutual respect, working together as a team, being friends as well as lovers, and, according to her, there will be no divorce in the future.
